Excerpt from Henry Ward Beecher and the Jews: In Commemoration of the Centenary of His Birth (June 24th, 1913)At last, the report of the Rabbi's wizardry reached the ears of the King. Determined to see this miracle for himself, he set out with a large retinue, and was soon knocking at jehiel's gate. Roused from his revery by the unusual summons, the Rabbi seized his iron hammerand gave the nail he had planted a sounding blow. To his amazement, it leaped up from the ground, instead of sinking deeper. Then he knew that it was the King who desired admittance. Bowing profoundly, after he had released the latch, lhe humbly besought his monarch's pardon. Tempting dishes and costly wines were placed before his guest, and he was graciously reassured as to the purpose of the visit. Then the King rose, looked about the meagerly furnished room, which had no other ornaments save scrolls and parchments, and paused, as if by accident, before the lamp, which gleamed with a strange brilliance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
